For nearly a century  conventional historians have depicted Germany as a rabidly nationalist
land  born in a sea of aggression  its nineteenth-century ascent accompanied by militarism and
brought to a murderous apex in the Third Reich. Not so  asserts Helmut Walser Smith  who 
beginning in 1500  reveals pacific conceptions of the nation and allows us to see the Nazis'
extreme form of nationalism not as the dark culmination point of German history but as an
essential episode in Germany's centuries-long history of continually conceiving the nation in
radically different ways. Whether chronicling the Thirty Years War  the German Enlightenment 
the Weimar Republic  the Holocaust or the era of Angela Merkel  Smith has created a new
standard for the twenty-first-century.
